V1.
Sometimes lips get loose with liquor
We said some things we didn’t mean
But the reaction that you gave me
Ain’t one I’ve ever seen
I’m not sure what tripped your trigger
But I know I ain’t that guy
You’re gonna have to spend the night time
Just wondering why

Chorus
I ain’t here for your all-nighter
I’m a lover not a fighter
And by morning you’ll be quieter
You’ve just had too much to drink
Now I’m laying down alone
You’re a little too far gone
To make sense of what I’m saying
So I’ll give you time to think
When you’re mad …
You’re one hell of a gas lighter
And I’m a lover not a fighter

V2
When I walked away
You screamed don’t you even care.
But if you knew me like I know me
You’d know I don’t fight fair
It’s Cos I care much more about you
Than I care about a “win”
And losing you…
… Would be a sin.

Chorus
I ain’t here for your all-nighter
I’m a lover not a fighter
And by morning you’ll be quieter
You’ve just had too much to drink
Now I’m laying down alone
You’re a little too far gone
To make sense of what I’m saying
So I’ll give you time to think
When you’re mad …
You’re one hell of a gas lighter
And I’m a lover not a fighter

Bridge
I’ll always trade my silence
Instead of going toe to toe
‘Cos you never know how far it’s gonna go

Chorus
I ain’t here for your all-nighter
I’m a lover not a fighter
And by morning you’ll be quieter
You’ve just had too much to drink
Now I’m laying down alone
You’re a little too far gone
To make sense of what I’m saying
So I’ll give you time to think
When you’re mad …
You’re one hell of a gas lighter
And I’m a lover not a fighter

When you’re mad …
You’re one hell of a gas lighter
And I’m a lover not a fighter

I’m a lover not a fighter
